Property Description

Located in Wayne, Pennsylvania, among the most desirable enclaves along Philadelphia’s storied Main Line, this exceptional custom residence is set on approximately three acres and thoughtfully composed as a collection of interconnected structures.

Designed by award-winning residential architecture firm Peter Zimmerman Architects in collaboration with Jonathan Alderson Landscape Architects and Griffiths Construction, the home draws from the region’s rich architectural lineage, blending elements of Arts & Crafts, Shingle Style, and Victorian traditions. The result is a timeless composition shaped by expansive views, shifting light, and subtle changes in elevation.

Comprised of approximately 25,000 square feet of finished living space, this stunning custom home includes five primary bedrooms, eight full baths, six powder rooms as well as a detached office barn and potting shed (both linked through an underground art gallery), and an indoor lap pool.

The exterior features a terracotta clay tile roof by Ludowici, brick chimneys, painted taper-sawn cedar shingles, and natural stone. Custom-designed and fabricated painted wood trim defines the gables, windows, and doors, while cast limestone sills accent the stone walls. All windows were crafted by Coyle Lumber & Millwork and feature antiqued, seeded glass, adding subtle texture and character.

Inside, the layout unfolds with clarity and ease, with rooms are arranged to feel connected while maintaining their own identity. The composition suggests a home that has evolved over time, enhancing its warmth and authenticity. A carefully considered palette of natural materials reinforces this timeless quality. A stunning stair tower acts as both a visual landmark and a natural point of circulation while a sequence of transitions leads outward from the home’s main living areas through a brick arcade and into the underground art gallery and surrounding buildings and landscape beyond.
